TOM SWAYER

Well, as you know, in literatura class we were reading some books and short stories. I really enjoyed it because, believe it or not, I like to read is just that I rarely have time to do it. Tom Sawyer is one of the stories I liked. I had hear that story before, but I have not known the plot before. I went to the SAC and couldn`t find the book so I decided to listen an audio material with Tom's story. I want to tell you a little bit of Tom Sawyer`s personality, Tom is a mischievous boy with an active imagination who spends most of the novel getting himself, and often his friends, into and out of trouble. Despite his mischief, Tom has a good heart and a strong moral conscience. As the novel progresses, he begins to take more seriously the responsibilities of his role as a leader among his schoolfellows.

I think all subjects are important for getting knowledge but I think American Literature is necessary if we want to understand the American culture and the English as a second language. I think teacher Ana Maria is an excelent teacher because she encouraged us to read and to understand what we read.

HANDS

The other day I was busy doing lots of little things,And I looked at my two hands working so well,How many nerves does it take that any action bringsTo hold, to grip, use a keyboard? It is hard to tell.I give very little thought to these great appendagesThat do so many things at my thoughtless bidding.Has everyone throughout man’s countless agesJust used them, without any great thanks giving?The best way to thank God above for this giftIs to do worthwhile things, work hard for a living,Offer them in friendship, give a weary soul a lift,Clasp them reverently in prayer every evening.Hands are so useful when they do good, kindly deeds,But hands that do evil and beckon people astrayAre hands that are ashamed, for a hand needsA loving heart, to help many others each day.I pray that my hands will serve others and workHard all my days, hands that speak kindnessIn every action they make, hands that never shirk,Hands doing the Master’s will, hands that bless.I am so glad that I have hands that can moveAnd help those who are not so abundantly blessed,I hope my hands actions will always want to proveThat God is my maker and they serve Him the best.M Ann Margetson
